sometimes our relationship with Christ seems to be like a car that is stuck on neutral .the car is there and still running buts its not really going anywhere. The reason may be our prayer life or the lack of it .I have met Christians who hardly ever pray. And if they do its because they want something. They treat God like Santa Claus for adults. Christ is our example and he spent most of his time in prayers. I myself lived a life if a christian who mostly prayed from a prayer book that someone else wrote. Praying should evaluate our relationship with christ . praying should give us a closer walk and a living faith. Praying with a purpose opens our mind to what prayer is. It is communicating with God which it is not only us talking to him it also invols God talking to us. It is listening to that small still voice. It is getting guidance and feeling real power in our lives. It is probably setting aside time every day to spend with God. Finally it is having the same desire that the disciples had when they witnessed Christ praying and receiving power. They asked Christ teach us how to pray.All Rights Reserved
